What We Learned Last Sunday
We read from Mark 10:46-52 where we met a guy named Bartimaeus (the older kids like to call him Blind Bart). Bart was blind and he had heard about Jesus’ ability to heal people. Many people in a crowd told Bart to forget about seeing Jesus, but he was confident and persistent in his faith and didn’t give up in getting to see Jesus. Bart is a great example to us in how we too can be persistent and confident in our faith.
Family Conversation Starters to keep the dialogue going:
- What does it mean to you to be confident? What are you most confident about?
- What other words do we use for someone who acts boldly?
- Jesus’ big love works through the love of others. When have you been surprised by Jesus’ big love?
- Tell about a time when you needed Jesus to help you.
Here’s a great prayer you can use as a family this week:
Thank you, God, for the gift of faith. Keep
calling us to boldy share and confidently
act like Bartimaeus. Help us to know deeply
your love for us and the world. In Jesus’
name we pray. AMEN.
Coming Up this Sunday
Family Worship Sunday (no Sunday School)
Kiddos participate and experience by staying in the service this week. They are also welcome to take on a leadership role in the worship service such as serving communion, being an acolyte,
singing in the children’s choir or leading a reading/prayer. Reach out to Mayme anytime if you have a kiddo who’d like to lead!
